Braiding BY HAND would be crap. With all the variables in the spacing...

Machine braiding is way better than hand braiding. N matter how careful hand braiding would be, it is going to be sloppy.

IMO the best way to "DO" in conduit would be hot/neutral machine twisted pair. With the ground alongside.
If you wanted to get 'fancy, three or four ground wrapped to surround the twisted hot/neutral and keep them from touching the metal walls of the conduit. Or even some way (Spacers?) to hold the twisted pair centered.
The ground would not matter in the spacing, just lay it in there someplace..

I tried braiding a powercord ONCE. It was junk.
